Went to Bangkok for a week with my girlfriend and wanted a place that:
• was close to Skytrain stations
• had places to eat nearby
• was high up, so that you could wake up in the morning, look out the window and see a sea of skyscrapers and really have that "big city feeling"
This place provides all that and more. The importance of Skytrain for getting around cannot be overstated. It's just so convenient and fast. Get the Rabbit Card from one of the stations, load cash onto it and just swipe in the stations as you enter and exit.
What's also great is the fact that next to the closest Skytrain station is also the Sathorn Pier from where you can take a ferry to all sorts of places up and down the river like Asiatique riverside market and all the main temples like Wat Arun, Wat Pho and the Grand Palace. It's also a great way to go to Chinatown since the Skytrain routes don't go there.
One of the favourite things about the apartment was the rooftop pool and gym which we used a great deal. Just fantastic views from up there and there aren't many people swimming during daytime, so you'll probably have the place all to yourself most of the time. Had an amazing swim there one evening while there was a lighting storm further away. The rain and the big city lights.. Just cinematic.
There's a shopping center a short walk away which should satisfy all your immediate culinary needs and there are a lot of food stalls on the streets nearby. We took food home from there quite often.
The hosts were very nice, extremely helpful and quick to answer during our stay. I accidentally pressed the wrong reset button on the router one evening, so the Internet went away and it had to be set up again. The hosts took care of it first thing the next day, which was very nice of them. So don't make the same mistake and go pressing any wrong buttons on the router :)
All in all, this apartment is a great place to stay at when in Bangkok.
